Cloisters

About

Walking along the quiet lanes of Washington Heights, you find yourself facing stone walls and low ceilings. This is a space that holds the atmosphere of the Middle Ages, as if faint candlelight were flowing along its stone walls. In this space, where the landscape of a medieval monastery has been faithfully recreated, the mysterious air of ancient Europe still lives on. The gaze of the statues hanging on the walls seems to reach back through time, drawing visitors into the past. Here flows a stillness as if a single hymn were echoing through the air.
